The Kettering Medical Center Interventional Cardiology Program is an ACGME accredited program that began in 2011. Currently, we have one Interventional Fellowship training position per year. Applicants interested in our program must submit their applications through the Electronic Residency Applicant Service (ERAS) to be considered for the Interventional Cardiology position.

The Interventional Fellow works in a high-volume (over 1000 interventional procedures per year) center. We utilize the most cutting-edge technologies in the Cath and Hybrid Labs and perform complex coronary intervention, peripheral intervention, carotid stenting. Impella/ECMO support for high-risk PCI and shock patients, also high-volume CTO program and high-volume structural heart program with more than 150 TAVR per year along with Watchman and MitraClip.

Our Cath Lab is in the six-story Benjamin & Marian Schuster Heart Hospital. Interventional Fellows can gain experience in not only routine coronary and peripheral procedures, but also advanced shock and structural procedures in our hybrid Cath Lab.
